I saw on F'book that there's a petition going to deny her a state funeral (fat chance). Someone wrote "We can give her one if you bury her now."

There's absolutely no reason or precedent for her to have a state funeral but, you're right, it will no doubt happen anyway

Sadly I'm pretty sure she destroyed the power of the Lollipop Guild straight after she finished off the miners.

I'm an Anglophile conservative with several spicy Margaret Thatcher stories.Thatcher and I have been communing about NatCon, and she's on board.We should be as bold, determined & counter-elite as she was.

An incredible piece.
Mrs Patterson, who was working at an old person’s home, struggled with the bills for sometime on her own, before eventually being forced to sell up and move into a mobile home.Speaking in 2002, she said: “If I’d foreseen the end of my marriage I’d never have bought. I got trapped there without enough cash to cover bills.“The mortgage was about £250 a month and after my husband left I survived only because my sons gave me board-and-lodging. I was desperate in a house I couldn’t manage and wished I’d never bought.“It broke my heart when I had to sell. It went for £57,000 and when I’d paid off the mortgage I had only enough left to buy a mobile home so I’m back down the property ladder.“But I don’t blame anyone. It was my decision to make that investment. I still remember the day Mrs Thatcher came to tea. I am still committed to right-to-buy."
